NCIS Squad Room.

"Hey probilicous did you hear..." Tony calls out as he enters the bullpen grinning.

"Oh yeah. I heard." McGee looks up from his desk also grinning.

"Heard what?" enquires Ziva from her desk but the guys ignore her.

"We really need to get a security camera in the elevator."

"That we do McGee. That we do but you know the Boss will never go for it." He shakes his head.

"Why do we need a camera in the elevator? What has happened?" Ziva walks over to them.

"Well..."

"Tony!"

"Apparently there were three or four people in the elevator and Abby and that new guy from the mail room..."

"The one with the creepy eyes?" She'd offered to speak to him as Abby had said the way he looked at her made he uncomfortable but Abby had said she'd take care of it herself.

"Yes. Anyway they were in the back and he..."

"He what Tony?" Sometimes it took all her willpower not to simply kill him when he was like this.

McGee decides to intervene. "He put his hand under her skirt and started massaging her butt."

"Oh no! What did she do?" The guys chuckle.

"First she stepped forward and flicked the emergency stop switch and then she gave him quite a dressing down."

"Annie from personnel said it was the most impressive tongue lashing she'd ever seen."

Ziva just stares at the guys a little puzzled. Of course she knew Abby was adventurous when it came to guys. They had even had a couple of interesting conversations at the bar about the use of handcuffs but even for her this sounded a bit extreme. Undressing the guy in an elevator with other people watching just because he'd rubbed her butt? And what had she been doing with her tongue?

Observing her puzzlement Tim suddenly realizes they have used expressions with which she might not be familiar. "To dress someone down means to scold them and a tongue-lashing is basically the same thing especially loudly or at length."

"Oh."

"But that is not the end of the story though" continues DiNozzo. "Next she pulls her handcuffs from her shirt pocket and cuffs him to the rail at the back of the elevator. Then as if nothing has happened she flicks the emergency switch and when the doors open goes off in search of Gibbs."

"Ouch!" interjects Tim.

"Ouch?"

DiNozzo grins. "When the Boss is done with him not only will he have lost his job but he won't be able to get it up for some time." The guys laugh as they go back to work.

Sitting at her desk Ziva wonders get what up...?
